My pet was
adopted (usually from a shelter or rescue)

From what organization or individual was your pet adopted/rescued/purchased
Seve was adopted from the rescue group "Dog Protective Services" in California, and we got Sophie from a dog breeder we met a a dog show in California

How does this photo represent the theme – Life is Better Together?
We got Sophie (the smooth hair Dachshund on top) first. She was 13 weeks old. When Sophie was 11 months old, we decided that having two dogs was better because they do not feel so alone. We wanted to help a dog from a shelter this time, and adopted Seve (the long hair Dachshund below). He was about 1-2 years old at that time.
Since they were together it was love at first sight. Sophie adores her big brother. It made easy for Seve to overcome some fear issues he came with. Sophie and Seve always do things together (play, eat, walk, sleep). Although they have about four different beds around the house, they always sleep together.
